A little shoutout to Sushi Station! My sister and I have been frequent patrons for years, so we had to laugh when my niece chose a sushi theme for her 4th birthday party! Of course, Sushi Station had to be part of the celebration. We placed an order for the party and, as always, everything was perfect. The order was accurate, the service was great, and they even included the little chopstick helpers we requested for the toddlers at the party. Such a small detail, but very much appreciated! One of the things we appreciate most about Sushi Station is how consistently great they are. We always know what to expect, and they continue to deliver every time. Thanks for helping make our little sushi lover's 4th birthday extra special. Keep up the great work! read more

We just celebrated my baby girl's 4th birthday with a "Let the Good Times Roll, You're 4!" maki/sushi themed party, and I seriously cannot say enough good things about Sushi Station! My family orders from Sushi Station probably every other week. No joke My daughter's favorite food is literally makis (we tell her it is sushi) from Sushi Station, so naturally we had to have them cater her birthday party. And somehow, even though we already knew how great they were, they STILL managed to completely over deliver. I actually faxed in my catering order I couldn't find an email contact, and while I saw that I could order online, I wanted to include some special requests and compliments. I figured hey, everyone loves a letter lol. They were so sweet about it and let me know I could order online in the future. But what really got me was how much they paid attention to the little things. Top priority of our guests were toddlers, and they gave us the cutest little chopstick helpers for the kids. I also made the slightly unusual request of asking if they could leave some space between the different sushi rolls because, let's be honest, we all have that one friend who doesn't like their food touching (oh my). They didn't even question it. They were incredibly accommodating. They checked in with me anytime they had a question, made sure everything was exactly how we wanted it, and the entire order came out PERFECT!!!!! And really, I shouldn't be surprised. They've been feeding our family for years and their service has always been amazing. The sushi was fresh, beautiful, delicious and incredibly affordable, especially considering we were feeding an entire birthday party. The quality and presentation were beyond what I expected. Thank you Sushi Station for helping make our little girl's 4th birthday so special. You guys absolutely knocked it out of the park. Amazing sushi. Amazing service. Amazing people. We will continue coming back again and again! read more

5 stars for Sushi Station. This is one of the most affordable sushi restaurants in the area - I got 3 spicy salmon rolls for $3 each - an excellent deal compared to other restaurants! The spicy salmon rolls were really tasty and fresh, and included ginger, soy sauce and wasabi. Inside they have conveyor belt sushi or you can order from their takeout menu. If you're in the area and are looking for some good sushi for reasonable prices, Sushi Station is the spot! read more

This has been my local sushi place to eat for over 20+ years! I like it because it is very clean and organize and I enjoy watching the food passes by on a controlled temperature Sushi belt. They also have flat green TVs for people watching while you're waiting or enjoying your meal, it's also an open kitchen so you see the Sushi chefs cutting the fish in front of you and you can also see the kitchen cooking the cooked items as well. This is located in a strip mall, so there's plenty of parking of course during the weekends it gets busy and the place is not that big, but it can hold a large party in the back area. Here are my favorite and other items I've ordered with or without my hubby: Spicy scallop Nigiri, nice slow heat, and the scallop is sweet Spicy scallop sashimi, scallop is sweet and fresh, and they put it on top of shredded cucumber refreshing Godzilla roll, love this role is deep-fried with light tempura with raw salmon and cream cheese and sweet dipping sauce Phoenix roll spicy tuna topped with crumbles of crunchy tempura batter Seaweed salad taste refreshing have a sesame seed flavoring oil Shrimp tempura appetizer served crispy hot tempura batter is light not oily Udon noodle soup the flavor of the broth is good. They give you a side of Asian pepper seasoning and it comes with a shrimp tempura. Chicken teriyaki the texture is a bit tough taste like chicken tenders with sweet teriyaki sauce Beef teriyaki beef is a little tough and it comes with a sweet teriyaki sauce Sesame seed balls with sweet red bean paste Fatty salmon Nigiri this is one of our favorite nigiri's. The salmon taste, fresh and buttery. California roll I like how sweet the imitation crab meat and soft the avocado in this roll Avocado roll avocado is always fresh and ripe Spicy salmon roll the salmon taste fresh with spicy flavor. You can also ask for more Asian chili oil on the side if you'd like. Super white tuna on the menu love this Nigiri and you can also ask it as sashimi Matcha green tea Vegetable and shrimp, tempura appetizer the vegetables are nice and fresh that tempura, thin and crispy and not oily Calamari sticks fried has a crispy tempura batter and cook perfectly not rubbery. The staff is friendly and the place is very clean. You keep in mind that you have to continue eating and you can't really hang out at your seat because yeah it gets that busy and people are waiting and watching you eat. Overall, we definitely come back to this location again and again never disappointed on the food and the service! read more

A cute place with rotating food bar! I came here for dinner and found the food to be good for the price, with friendly service. It may not be the most authentic, but if you're looking for a quick and affordable meal, this is the place to go. read more

Well after coming from Penang which was short staff and it takes an hour just for them to serve Malaysian food the next best thing I wanted was Japanese and by chance I ran into sushi station. I had seen this restaurant before. There's another one similar in Schaumburg that I went to. My only pet peeve that I did not like was that the server sat me in a place and that she decides to move me which was pretty rude. Other than that the ambience is okay. Three stars the way that was approached to me if they knew that they were going to seat somebody why did they sit me on the other side and then decide to move me read more

3.9-Stars food - is not bad. Cheaper than KURA for sure. 3-Stars -Service - Not sure if I should take it rude when the waiter tells us they're closing in an hour.... but you can take it with a grain of salt.. 2-3 Stars- Ambience ..This place has not change their decor for nearly 2 decades... they need a makeover.. I don't know if that's a good thing since I like the cheap price.. but the place feel dirty.. like it needs a good scrubbing.. no food poisoning yet... (knock on wood).. Overall.. Good food, cheap, service.. well ..(sorta rude waiter like rushing you type...maybe because it's a small place and they want to service anyone waiting)... usually none waiting whenever we go..(and it's usually a weekend).. Happy Eating! read more

We went for lunch. Much better than expected. Sushi was great. Would definitely come back.

I've been here several times for work lunches and it's a great little sushi restaurant. It's small and fills up fast so occasionally there's a wait - usually only takes 5 or 10 min to get seated. I typically order from the rotating sushi belt which is the draw here. At lunch they often have maybe 4 or 5 "lunch special" rolls from $1.75. Otherwise the color coded plates go from I think 1 to 7 dollars. Another reviewer said they didn't have pickled ginger but they absolutely had it at my table a couple weeks ago. I like that the rolls here don't fall apart. They also have several dessert items - some non Japanese (cheesecake bites, macaroons, etc), mochi upon request (you have to order it from your server), and some authentic dishes like these rice balls on a skewer covered in a "not too sweet" syrup - they are my favorite. Service has always been really good here. read more

Great service, great food, and a fun atmosphere. The place is usually packed so I order takeout. I've been eating here weekly for ten years. They should build a wing dedicated to me. Enjoy! read more

So I took a break from going here for a few years , decided to go back and try ! I made a mistake by coming late but I didn't want to wait so I came at 1:30. I had the hostess tell me they close at 2:00 I said no problem I will be quick . I didn't realize the conveyor would be empty so I just ordered the two rolls I wanted and waited 5-10 mins until they were ready well now it's about 1:40 and the staff is cleaning like it's time to go home - I realized I made the mistake coming too late . Not only did each server keep coming to ask if I needed anything or if I was done after my food came. The staff is so rude and always rushes you out !! Now I remember why I stopped coming during busy hours . Also as I ate for maybe 10 mins I was so rushed and they picked up every single thing in front of me and around the whole tables . The sushi is good but not good enough for me to go back for that service to be continued the same for many and many years ! I lived in the area for 15-20 years and am so glad I finally realized I'm not going back here... read more

We are regulars at sushi station. We like to go right when they open for lunch or when they switch for dinner otherwise it can get really busy. They over estimate the wait and it's typically 5-10 mins sooner. The restaurant is very open with seating by the conveyor belt. I like that we can order rolls if we don't see them on the belt and it is very quickly served. Very affordable as well. read more

I've continued to go here over the 9 years since I wrote my initial review. Every thing I wrote still holds - yet there's been an improvement. There are a lot of choices on the menu that don't make it to the conveyor belt either because they are warm or there's not high demand. I got a fire-roasted 2-piece Unagi sashimi most times I go, and the guy that makes them is great at it. If I could update to a 4.5, I would. read more

Back this past weekend and shocked we could walk right in at 12:45 and be seated without a wait! Must be spring break for a lot of customers! I love the blend of new options like matcha cheesecake and old favorites - like station rangoon and peach roll. we were in and out in 20 minutes and totally full! read more

It's always great. You need to try the spicy edamame. I don't think it's on the menu. Ask for it.

I've been coming to Sushi Station for oh, I don't know, about 10 years now? I have their menu memorized by now! Sushi Station is a revolving sushi belt restaurant where you can grab whatever sushi you like from the conveyer belt or you can order with a server. I'm not gonna lie - Sushi Station doesn't have some super high-quality, top notch sushi. It's tasty and definitely can hit the spot, but don't expect to have some super crazy or elaborate rolls here. My personal favorites are the San Diego roll, their gyoza, and the Caterpillar roll. If you're in the mood for sushi but don't want to pay big bucks, Sushi Station is definitely your place to go. I usually get full off of 4-5 plates! Perfect for friends, families, or even coming in and eating by yourself! read more

NOT A FAMILY FRIENDLY RESTAURANT. My family, including my 7 and 3-year-old kids, usually eat at Sushi Station Rolling Meadows at least once every three weeks. But our latest visit was disappointing, and we won't be returning. My kids really enjoy Unagi Nigiri (Eel), so we usually start our meal with 4-5 orders of it. During our last visit, my older daughter found a bone while eating, which we thought might happen with raw fish. But then I found some larger bones (see pictures below - about the size of a penny) in the eel too. I decided to inform our waiter, not expecting much, just to let them know it could be a problem for others. However, when the waiter brought over their supervisor, things took a turn for the worse, and it became clear we wouldn't be dining at Sushi Station anymore. The supervisor waitress got very defensive and claimed their eel supplier had never had problems before. When I tried to explain what happened, she rolled her eyes and ruined our family dinner. Everyone makes mistakes, including suppliers, but being rude to customers isn't the solution. I'm upset that we paid for food and service but didn't receive either, so we won't be coming back. read more

My aunt and I had lunch plans and were craving sushi. We actually attempted to go to another restaurant, but it was closed. Sushi Station was not! It's a fun little place with a rotating food bar. You are setting at a table or counter next to the rotating sushi, grabbing whatever you'd like as it comes by. This is such a terrific set up for sushi so you can try a little bit of everything without committing to an entire roll. The plates are individually priced based on their color. You stack them up as you go so they can be counted at the end of your meal. This is the kind of place where you get what you pay for. The sushi is not elaborate by any means, but it is tasty and fresh. There are plenty of other choices as well; seaweed salad, desserts, calamari sticks, and much more. You can order other items such as ramen bowls and various desserts.. This is a great place to have a little fun - perfect for a unique date experience. read more

Amazing, staff was pleasant and prompt, you are seated and the "system" is explained. Sushi will travel past in enclosed conveyor you pull off what you want. Pricing is based on plate color they simply total your plates at the end. You can also order from the menu if you want more " unique" items. Each item that passes on conveyor is labeled so you know what it is. This would be nice if you are new to sushi and just trying new things. Highly recommended. read more

Good sushi. Efficient system of delivering sushi plates. Fair pricing. Recommended. read more

Great way to get beginners to try sushi. Very small plates allows you to be adventurous and try things you wouldn't normally order. Great selection and solid food. read more

This is such a fun place. Every seat is close to the conveyor belt of sushi. I like it because you don't have to commit to a certain roll of 8 pieces. Here you get 3 or 4 for a low price. If you want more take more. I usually do that with the special of the day. Always crowded. Get there when it opens. It is a busy place, never too loud and there is always the sushi to watch. read more

Sushi was poor quality sushi, I grabbed a tuna roll and when I ate it I instantly said, "that tastes old and fishy". Prices are extremely high for what they serve, 2 to 3 pieces cost 4/5 dollars. Due to the space being small their goal is to get you in and out. They were so rude and asking every 2 minutes if we were ready. My friend and I stood our ground and tried to proceed with our conversation but they just stood in front of us staring. My friend and I weren't even there for 30 minutes. If you're trying to enjoy a meal without being rushed this is definitely not the place. There are so many better quality and service conveyor belt restaurants. read more

Pretty rare to see conveyor belt sushi place in Chicago area. This one was original, as far as I remember. Kaiten style sushi bar. Good efficient and cheerful service, despite the fact that it was busy Friday night. Quite reasonable prices. The fish was fresh, the quality a bit hit or miss. I like sea bass and Caribbean roll, some nigiri, including yellowtail and salmon, were mediocre. Good squid salad though. Not much of ambiance but still fun thing to do! read more

My husband suggested sushi for dinner tonight and I wasn't thrilled about the idea until he mentioned Sushi Station and its conveyor belt. I have a friend who lives in LA who has sung the praises of conveyor belt sushi for years. Intrigued and (almost) always down for an adventure, I agreed and we were off! We had a wait of about 30 minutes, which we expected. The day after Valentine's Day, especially on a Saturday, is likely to be busy. After telling the host/manager how many were in our party, he handed us a ticket. He calls out the number on the tickets instead of names. There were a couple of small glitches with this process, all of which were the fault of patrons. The restaurant was generous (a group of people left the restaurant and lobby, thus missing their number being called. When they came back, they moved to the top of the list - a kindness I'm not sure I would have extended). The host/manager was apologetic to us about the delay caused by the issues and kept us up to date on our table. We used our wait to strategize our visit. There's a bit of game theory in conveyor belt sushi because you may not want to wait for something to come back around and you don't know what will be on the conveyor next to you when you're seated. We also had to decide if there were things we were sharing. We were seated at a table rather than directly at the bar, which was maybe better for us. We had a little space to spread out and stack our plates. Our server was excellent, consistently present with refills and to check in. We tried quite a few things - I think we ended up with 19 plates total. The gyoza were tasty. My favorite roll was one that had tempura shrimp, green onion, and cream cheese. My husband tried everything that had a reference to fire. There was nothing I would call a miss, though certainly some were better than others. The real benefit of conveyor belt sushi is that you get to try smaller portions of things. I would never order a full roll of something with tempura shrimp and coconut, but the two bites on this plate were a perfect amount. There's a man who stands at the end of the sushi bar deciding how to deploy the dishes being prepared onto moving belt. I believe this makes him the surveyor and purveyor of the conveyor, a job I envy. read more

OMG best sushi place around! This is the best sushi I ever had. It was my first time going and I was bit scared but I definitely had a fun time. The service was outstanding, they helped us with ordering and recommended many dishes. The ambiance was very different that an other places. I loved the set and how you can just grab your food. read more

I am usually a huge fan of Sushi Station and drive out here from the city just to enjoy their rotating buffet of selections. This weekend was totally awful. We came in around 4:00 and were seated relatively quickly, but then things spiraled downhill. The belt was missing so many regular items and nothing was really being refreshed very quickly. We waited FOREVER to place orders with the wait staff as we were seated in the forgotten area towards the back where the screens that they put up to deal with COVID are only exacerbating the situation. Forget about refills on drinks and apparently napkins are an endangered species because even when you order a Ramune (which ALWAYS OVERFLOW) and have kids in your party you only have the bare minimum. The biggest issue for me - and I am CERTAIN this has to be a building code violation - is that the bathrooms (BOTH) were marked "out of order" and there were carts blocking the way to them. How can you have a restaurant open without at least one functioning restaurant? Not to mention what about staff???? Gross. It is going to take me a long time to feel like coming here again after having to shuttle two kids to the neighboring smoothie shop to use the restroom and wait forever just to get a check to be able to leave. read more

We went for my husband's birthday dinner. As usual it was a good meal. We decided to try all new rolls this time. Our new favorite was definitely the Hanako. I was on the fence but we both really like it! The San Diego was really good too. It's definitely a spicy one though so be aware. Next time I think I'll scrape off a little bit of the spicy mayo. Husband didn't have an issue with the spice level. Didn't enjoy the rangoons as much as some places so I think next time I'll have the tempura. We tried the oreo dream bar and it was so good. We split it which was perfect since it was quite rich. As usual a good meal and good service. read more

Great food with good service. some menu items are seasonal. the peach roll is my favorite! i'd say its less pricey than Kura up the street and it's nice to support a smaller local business read more

Finally had to write a review about this place... Used to love it... The food is still good, but the owner or at least the lady who runs a place makes me not want to come back Just spent $40 and had a few items in a takeout container I asked for some soy sauce to go and she gave me one packet and almost did not give me a second small packet I actually asked her for a clear plastic container that they fill up with soy sauce to go food and she would not give it to me Literally 10 cents for someone who just spent $40 Sadly, no tip was left so the owner cost her employees money by not running the business in a smart manner. Had another bad experience when I was having my daughter, meet me for lunch. She was the fourth one to arrive and they would not seat me until she arrived. I wanted everyone to sit down and I was going to order for her so she could be fast And the sad part is I used to come here once a week so they know. you think a relationship would mean something to these people but it clearly does not. Might come back, but probably not Also, they close at 2 PM but they start taking last call for food at 1:30 and then basically clean around your feet and make sure you're out of there by 140/145 unprofessional read more

I've been coming here for years and I'm never disappointed! The food is always fresh, the staff is so kind and attentive, and they keep the restaurant sanitized! I'd definitely recommend this sushi restaurant! We wanted to try the conveyor belt sushi experience and it was awesome! Difficult for vegetarians as there are only a few rolls that are vegetarian but the waiter tried customizing as we ordered for my husband. Myself and my sister had an awesome time picking random ones to try from the belt and also ordering ones not on the belt but on the screen like the taco roll. I liked how they had appetizers like edamame and desserts like cheesecake on the belt. We chose to order mochi mango and strawberry. We tried the garlic fried rice which was great and ordered the fried chicken nuggets for my daughter but they were awful! If your kid doesn't like sushi there aren't many options... so that was the downside for us. Decent drink prices. Very clean! Sashimi /raw fish leave allot to be desired here kind of mushy. However for a fun quick bite I would recommend. I have gone w groups and by my self several times and feel like I get ignored some by wait staff when I'm there alone. Over all decent food and decent prices. It's rarely too busy and the food comes by on a conveyor belt - so fun! I didn't give it 5 stars because they didn't replenish or even have some of the usual items on the belt but had to be ordered separately, which is fine. But I really didn't want a whole roll! Otherwise, good job! read more

Used to love the food here so I have been coming here for over 10 years. The quality of food and service slowly went down to the point that I decided not to come here anymore. Today, I visited with a friend who wanted to experience the rotating sushi place. I made a wrong decision. Service was ok but I really didn't like the servers randomly grabbing the cover without saying "Excuse me" or letting me know. The quality of the food even got worse. So many imitation crab rolls, many sushi rolls have "chopped" fish, portions got small and white squid sushi was yelling that it was about to go bad. Overall non-authentic, too Americanized sushi place with below average food quality. read more

I've been going to this place for years. Of course I don't expect fancy high end sushi when I go here, but no waiting for food, reasonable price and still decent food. You'll get full really fast if you only eat their maki because there's a lot of rice in there. You can also order something off the menu that you can't get from the rotating bar. Perfect spot for a quick lunch if you're in the mood for sushi but have no time for restaurants with waiting staff and don't want old grocery store sushi! read more

Conveyor belt sushi? It's different, fun and convenient! The Interior = Fun and colorful. The Service = Servers are nice but this is more of a self serve place hence the conveyor belt. You are able to order directly from the menu and the servers are fairly attentive. The Food = Fresh and good quality. Conveyor belt sushi ranges from $1.25 to $6.25. The prices are identifiable by the plate color. There are other dishes you could order from the menu with various prices. Sushi station is a great place to grab a quick bite or to take a sushi novice for schooling :) read more

I used to come here all the time and loved it but, when came recently, I had a hard time finding anything good to say. The wait was short but when I asked to wait longer for a four top I was told that we couldn't sit there for two people. But then the host sat a couple at the large table just a moment after denying us one? we let that go only to still find the staff rude and confrontational. when my water cup was empty for 20 min I drank out of my personal water bottle. I was approached by two employees and told they don't allow outside drinks (fine) but then the employee tried to take my water bottle? I told her not to touch it and that I would close it and put away. Shorty after I complained about an item we had ordered (different than described). we were then approached by three workers and told that complains "never" happen there and that we still had to pay for the $3 plate we didn't touch. I wouldn't have had an issue if the ladies weren't so rude or surrounding me and my friend every time something was brought up. It was rude an unnecessary. Overall this place has great sushi but the staff ruined the experience all together so maybe order Togo read more
